ITV FEST AWESOMENESS

So I just got back from the opening gala for ITV Fest and let me tell you, this is going to be one hell of a festival.

The quality of all the entries look amazing and we are honored to be a part of it. SO HONORED, that we drew up a quick poster just for the occasion!



It's not totally colored or finished, but I thought I might as well put it up to whet your tongues. Yum.

Just to remind you all, DAVID HAMMERFIST: HAMMERFISTS OF FURY will be showing not once, not three times, but TWICE this week at The Laemmle Sunset 5:

SATURDAY AUG. 1st @ 8:45pm

TUESDAY AUG. 4th @ 6pm


So yeah, we'll kick things off Saturday night-with the voice of David Hammerfist in attendence- and you can all vote Hammerfist for the audience award (if you so choose).

Then, on Tuesday we'll end things with a bang-hopefully with the voice of Steve in attendance- and you can ONCE AGAIN, vote Hammerfist for the audience award!

You know you want to.

And if you are still hesitant, if you e-mail me (and are one of the first 10) we can get you discounted tickets at...wait for it.....%50 OFF!

That's $7.50 for you art majors. The only problem is that the screening could sell out before then since I'll have to get them the day of the screening. If you don't want to risk it, then just go to http://itvfest.bside.com/2009/schedule/week and buy your tickets there!


So come on up to the Laemmle Sunset 5 and have a great time with David and friends. Hell, maybe I'll buy you a drink at Sushi Dan. MAYBE.

Not a lot of news

Hey everyone! High time for an update, I'd say.

We havent been up to a whole lot. There are a few last festivals we'll be submitting to, but the big news is the pitch bible, which is well under way! We've got a first draft and we've gotten some input on it, so that ball is actually rolling (after a year...).

We're creating a lot of new art for that so we'll be updating here with some pictures once they're done. Until then, here's a picture I did of Steve:

Finally! A POSITIVE update!

Folks! I've got some great news!

But before that, some bad news, since everybody seems to like the bad news first. "David Hammerfist: Hammerfists of Fury" will not be playing at the Ann Arbor Film Festival.

We also wont be playing at AFI Dallas.

We're still waiting to hear about the Sonoma International Film Festival, but we're not holding our breath. Acceptances were supposed to go out yesterday and we havent heard anything yet, so yeah...

But, for those of you living in a Facebook-less box or for those of you who missed my text message blast last night, there is good news! On Friday night, "David Hammerfist: Hammerfists of Fury" played to an exhilarated audience at the Beverly Hills Shorts festival. Although we didnt win the Judge's Award, the people spoke on our behalf and gave us the Audience Award for the Animation block!



I'll post some photos from the festival at a later date. I just wanted to tell everyone the great news!

So yeah! Check back later this week and we should have some pictures up! I'll also write a longer post about the animation block, as well as some of the other films we saw there. But until then!

-JJ

ITS A FINE FUNKING DAY TO WATCH CARTOONS!

Rise and Shine ladies and gentlemen!

Get ready for David Hammerfist to take Beverly Hills Shorts by storm! JJ and I are SUPER excited for today and we hope to see all of you (even you "Maybes") at the showing!!

To clarify for all of you. The Animation blick STARTS at 6pm. Now, Hammerfists of Fury might be AT 6, or it may not be (they honestly have not told us the order). So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE try to get there early and grab your ticket for $10. JJ and I have met a lot of the filmmakers and we encourage everyone to stay for the rest of them....but we understand if you have obligations. No one will think less of you if you have to leave right after.

But seriously, some of the other films are great (we've seen a few of them already)!

So come on out and watch David in his new and improved adventure in good old HI-DEFINITION on a BIG SCREEN! and

Also, if any of you have been curious as to whether my good looks come from my mother or my father, they will be in attendance and you can compare (*hint* it might be both...)

Feb. 27th 6PM
Fine Arts Theatre
8556 Wilshire Blvd
Beverly Hills, CA 90211

$10 for animation
$50 for the whole damn festival


-Matthew!

Good News Everyone!

We got into a festival!

Just when you start to lose hope, a shining light comes down from the heavens!

David Hammerfist: Hammerfists of Fury, will be one of the seven animated short films showing at the Beverly Hills Shorts Festival which runs from February 27th-March 1st.

More specifically, you can catch Hammerfists of Fury in the animation block that begins at 6pm on the 27th! Exciting isn't it? I urge all of you to come out and see the film. admission is only $10 to see one block of short films, and if you want to see every block of the festival-drama, comedy, sci-fi, horror, etc.- then it'll cost you a cool $50. Not much when you think about it. Movie tickets are $12 nowadays so $50 to watch 61 quality short films is a deal!

What's that? You say you've already seen Hammerfists of Fury and that this isn't worth your time? Well my good friend, that is where you are WRONG. You see, JJ and I, being the perfectionists we are, have once again cracked open the Hammerfiles and are tweaking a couple of scenes. Not many, but there were a few scenes that pissed us off everytime we watched the film so we have gone back to the drawing board on a couple of those and made them look nice and spiffy!

So yeah. come see
